Every interaction. Every time.

The Speed Promise

Every UI action in Gritship — creating tasks, dragging cards, switching views, opening panels — responds in under 200ms. This isn't a marketing goal. It's a hard engineering constraint. If a feature can't meet it, it doesn't ship.

Optimistic updatesUI reacts instantly. Server syncs in the background.
Server ComponentsData loads on the server. No client-side waterfalls.
< 100KB initial JSStrict bundle budget. No bloated dependencies.

Core Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Boards, tasks, due dates, assignments, comments, real-time sync. The core project management experience — without the feature creep.

Kanban Board

Drag tasks between columns. Reorder with fractional indexing — no conflicts, even with teammates editing simultaneously.

List View

Sortable table with inline editing. Click any cell to edit. Sort by priority, assignee, due date, or status.

Real-Time Sync

Powered by WebSocket subscriptions. When a teammate moves a task or leaves a comment, you see it instantly — no refresh.

Keyboard-First

N to create, ⌘K to search, arrow keys to navigate, Enter to open. Full board control without touching the mouse.

Markdown Descriptions

Code blocks, checklists, headings, links. Write task specs the way developers think — no clunky rich-text editor.

Priorities & Labels

P1 through P4 priorities with color coding. Custom labels to categorize work. Filter and group any way you need.

Why Switch

Tools that grew past you.

Enterprise tools optimized for enterprise buyers — not for the people who actually use them.

Jira

Designed for enterprise workflows. Deeply configurable issue types, screens, and schemes. Great for compliance teams — overwhelming for small teams just shipping code.

Asana

Free tier limited to just 2 users since late 2025 (down from 10). Starter plan starts at $10.99/user/month.

Monday.com

3-seat minimum on paid plans. Complex pricing tiers with feature gates that push upgrades.

ClickUp

Ships every feature imaginable. The result: slow load times and an interface that takes weeks to learn.

Trello

Pivoted toward a personal productivity companion in 2025. Free tier limited to 10 boards per workspace.
